A good sequel to an interesting idea! It was not predictable, as so many YA books of this genre can be. 3.5

Good follow up to Fable. Enjoyed the plot twist with the merchant across the unnamed sea. Listened to audio, I enjoyed it that way.

I definitely enjoyed this book, however I think it definitely could have benefited from a dual perspective- West seemed to just appear randomly. I think it would have been great to have his viewpoint show what must have been an adventure.
Also, kinda wish that this wasn't named "Namesake" because I felt like it gave away part of the ending and had me screaming with irritation that Fable wasn't putting it together as fast as me.

برای خوندن داستان پدر و مادر فیبل خیلی ذوق دارم :(
پ.ن: بهتر از جلد قبل بود.

Linda bilogía. Me gustó, es entretenida, se lee fácil. No me voló la cabeza.
En esta segunda parte de la bilogía de Fable vemos a nuestra prota, una colorada con daddy issues, tratando de salir de un quilombito, salvar a su amorcito, a su papá y desbaratar los planes de una mafiosa. La verdad es que bastante bien le sale, siendo que es medio naba. Claro que le ayudan bastante los personajes masculinos de la saga.
Lo que más me gustó fueron el world building y la pluma de la autora, la verdad es que Adrienne Young escribe precioso y tiene mucha habilidad para describir cosas. Lo que menos me gustó es la personalidad de la prota, la realidad es que no me cae muy bien. Y la trama también peca un poco de predecible.
Igual no está mala la historia, pero no es nada extraordinario. La recomiendo para quienes buscan una lectura facilita con la dosis justa de fantasía.

3.5 I think I liked this a little more than the first book. Entertaining and pretty clean.
More words that Emma Lysy can't pronounce in addition to "izzle-dee" (Isolde): boatswain, starboard
If you're going to narrate books about ships, maybe look up the lingo.
